Our Story
Africa's Premier Divine Institute of Chaplaincy Corps Intl (DICCI)
Founded in 2005, the Divine Institute of Chaplaincy Corps Intl (DICCI) was born from a conviction that Africa's greatest need is not more resources, it is more leaders of character. We equip chaplains, executives, and public servants to lead with moral courage, spiritual depth, and professional competence.
Our faculty brings decades of experience in military chaplaincy, healthcare ethics, government policy, and pastoral care. We are a pan-African institution with a global perspective, rooted in a commitment to servant leadership and the common good.
Whether you are a clergy member seeking chaplaincy credentials, a government administrator wanting to integrate ethical frameworks, or a healthcare professional called to provide spiritual care, you will find a home here.
"The character of a leader is the foundation of every institution. We don't just train skills, we shape men and women of integrity who transform the spaces they serve."
Dr. Samuel Adewale, Founding Director
